Moroccan Bazaar was the name of a UK based wholesalers and distributors who were founded in 1970. The company's website has been absorbed by another UK based company called Moroccan Bazaar, but one which deals with lighting and interiors. The incense selling company appears to have ceased around August 2017, and stocks of Moroccan Bazaar branded incense (made by Balarama of Thailand) were taken over by Zam Zam (which is where I got this Cherry Wood). But none of this is certain. This is my speculation.
Scent on the stick wavers between cherry and cold smoke. It's weak and modest. It's likely that this incense is seven years old or more if it is stock from a company that ceased involvement in incense distribution in 2017. It's a perfumed incense, and in my experience perfumed incense has a fairly short shelf-life. Quality perfumed incense can last over ten years, bargain basement stuff lasts barely a year. This is somewhere between those two.
The scent on the burn is similar to that on the stick. It's a modest fragrance which is at the end of its life. There are too many off-notes for pleasure. The result is a sort of sickly toffee and burnt hair aroma with touches of wood and touches of artificial cherry. It's not quite as offensive as it sounds, and a friend earlier today walked into the kitchen where I was cooking and burning this incense, and she said she like the incense and the music I was playing (Incredible String Band). But it's certainly not great stuff.
